Safety equipment
Never put your safety or the safety of your
passengers in danger. In the event of an acci-
dent, the safety equipment may reduce the
risk of injury. The following points cover part
of the safety equipment in your SEAT
three-point seat belts,
●
belt tension limiter for the front and rear
●
seats
belt tensioners for the front and rear seats,
●
front and rear airbags,
●
side airbags on the backs of the front seats,
●
and head airbags for the front and rear seats.
"ISOFIX" anchor points for child seats in the
●
rear side seats with the "ISOFIX" system,
rear head restraints with in-use position and
●
non-use position,
adjustable steering column.

The safety equipment mentioned above
works together to provide you and your pas-
sengers with the best possible protection in
the event of an accident. However, these
safety systems can only be effective if you
and your passengers are sitting in a correct
position and use this equipment properly.
Safety is everyone's business!

If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the correct sitting position,
contact a specialised workshop for help with
any special devices. The seat belt and airbag
can only provide optimum protection if a cor-
rect sitting position is adopted. SEAT recom-
mends taking your car in for technical serv-
ice.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident or sudden
braking or manoeuvre, SEAT recommend the
following positions:

●
right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.
